elkoholic Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 I think the moose are eating holes in the roads. I watched him chow down on the road for several minutes and can not even fathom what he is missing in his diet that would make him chew and swallow mouthfuls of crushed rock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Must be a mineral deficiency. Maybe calcium in the limestone? Cool pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elkoholic Posted September 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Those forest roads have a layer of crushed rock as a top layer. I'm not sure of the exact content but the Forest Service has multiple sites where they set up rock crushing equipment (makes one heck of a noise when they are operating), and overlay where there are active logging operations. Some kind of sedimentary rock is all I know, but the ground water around here is high in calcium and magnesium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bug House Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Can't help but think there was a mineral contaminant in the crushed stone ... ? Or maybe not. lol Really cool pic though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
